GMC’s Core Vehicles Lead October Sales Gains

DETROIT – GMC, on track for its best retail and total sales year since 2007, recorded the best October sales since that year. October’s 8 percent year-over-year retail sales increase and 6 percent total sales gain were led by the brand’s three most popular vehicles – the Sierra full-size pickup, the Acadia midsize crossover SUV, and the Terrain small SUV.

With retail sales up 14 percent, Terrain experienced its best October sales to date and remains on track for its best annual sales since being introduced as a 2010 model. Updates for the 2013 model year include a new 301-horsepower V-6.

Like Terrain, Acadia remains on track for its best sales year ever. October retail sales, the highest since the same period in 2007, were up 18 percent.

“GMC’s crossover lineup has never been stronger,” said Brian Sweeney, vice president of GMC Sales and Service. “Both Terrain and Acadia showcase the advanced technology and refinement our customers want as well as the bold designs and versatility they expect.”

Sierra – GMC’s best-selling vehicle – ended October with retail sales up 9 percent year over year and is on track for its best sales year since 2008. October full-size pickup sales were the best for the month since 2007.
